Question

How much per sqm would skimming over Artex cost these days?
To include cost of materials.  I have a hundred and five sqm house with 4 bedrooms, two bathrooms, dining room, living room kitchen, utility room, hallway, staircase - all ceilings are with Artex. House was built in late 90's 
I expect it's more than I think...

Usually artex walls and ceilings have to be scraped down to take the rough of it ,then treatment with PBA Bonding solution therefore the cost is usually works in at £20 per M2 depending on thickness cost of house 
            £2100.00 kind regards Alexander

Hi your looking at two hundred pounds a day labour . 1 tub of blue grit at twenty seven pounds And I’d say about thirty to thirty five bags of plaster depending on how deep the artex is at just over ten pound  a bag

Artex if pre 1970 needs testing for asbestos, then it's scraped back b4 skimming. If it contains asbestos then it needs professional removal, we're they apply a solution and the full lot falls off, in a sheeted confined room.
If no asbestos then price per sqm doesn't really apply, the cost depends on many things. Is the hse occupied or empty, is there carpets, wooden floors to protect, can every room be accessed at the same time ie empty. My average charge for a domestic ceiling is £240

Lee · Answer

£20 square metre, that includes scraping it the Artex off to a point and it would still need two coats of plaster

Jagvinder · Answer

I believe it's double labour cost as you have to plaster it twice

Michael · Answer

It depends on how thick the artex is on  the walls or ceilings. Every wall ceiling has to be pva os. I use sbr to go over artex first, make sure there is no peeling as this will cause plaster to peel .you maybe looking at twice the price as normal plaster work on boards or flat area just cause of the work involved covering the area in question and the amount of plaster per area

Thomas · Answer

To skim artex I charge for a ceiling 10 x 10 roughly 250.
I know ow that sounds cheap but the age we live in the customers will go on price rather than experience.i have  years experience but I want to make sure I get the job.i hope this helps

Tyler · Answer
